Admissions

Following our Sixth Form Open Evening on 14^th November, our applications to our Sixth Form are now open from now until 31^st January 2025. If you managed to attend the evening, we hope you found it useful in planning your next steps. If you were unable to attend, the school website should be able to provide an overview of our Sixth Form and the courses on offer. Thank you for taking an interest in applying to our Sixth Form which combines high academic standards with quality pastoral care within a caring Catholic community.

Applications are welcome from pupils who are currently at St Peter’s in Year 11 or those who attend other schools. All applicants must recognise that there is a minimum entry criteria to attend the Sixth Form of achieving five standard passes including GCSE English and Maths at grade 4 or above. However, each individual course has a specific entry criteria.

St Peter’s pupils should complete this Application Form or use the QR code below. Once this has been received and processed, pupils will be invited to interview on Tuesday 11^th March. Letters will be sent out in February. All St Peter’s pupils will receive, an Independent Advice and Guidance interview with our careers advisor. We would always recommend pupils consider all options and make sure they choose what is right for them.

External applicants should complete this Application Form or use the QR code below. Once this has been received and processed, pupils will be invited to interview on Tuesday 25^th March. Letters will be sent out in February, but external applicants will be advised of the admissions process and criteria in the event of oversubscription.

Both application forms ask prospective applicants to provide provisional course choices. While we appreciate that a lot can change. Our course information and entry criteria can be found on the Sixth Form page on the school website found here.

Should you have any questions before the interview evenings in March 2025 then you are welcome to get in touch. We look forward to receiving your application.
